Ended: 2008 External Mock Draft

[Brutus1]

I like Hardy more than Thomas.

I like Hardy's size, but that's about it. Thomas can be a returner, too. He's faster, a better blocker, better hands, better after the catch and runs better routes.

I would love the 'real' Raiders to pick Thomas up, but it would make too much sense, so they'll do something stupid.

Updated mross34, korchiki & dynasty's assignments. Who drafted for Tennessee?

How do you guys feel about 30 min slots (if top-5 auto pick isn't available) for round 1, then 4 hours for later rounds?

I like the top-5 picks thing, but having everybody do it for the first round at the same time doesn't seem to be optimal. How about asking for the next 8 drafters to send you a top-5 list during the first round. After the first 8 are picked do another 8 with 4-hour windows to send in the top-5 list.

I'm drafting at 17, so what's the point of me sending a top-5 of: C. Long, J. Long, G. Dorsey, M. Ryan, V. Gholston - I would take any of those guys at 17, but they won't be there. I think it makes more sense to request my list after 8 or 12 people have already selected.

After the first round, I think it would be OK to get a top-5 from everybody in the entire next round each time (with a 12-hour or 24-hour return-the-list window) - since there will be a lot more variation in the lists there won't be many delays due to lists being completely picked already.

Optimal compromise bolded for 1st round - We are likely to have to wait on Ahiacitian anyway. He won't be able to check in till post 6PM.

Like the follow-up round idea as well

The list (order) and a database to handle trades PM'd in is in da werks.

Here I am waiting patiently to pick at #60, we get up to 43 and now.......

 

[jwinslow]

So I'd collect the top-5 list from the top-8, work through it, then give 4 hours for everyone

Interesting proposal. Let me see if I have it right:

A) Round 1

1. Next 8 picks PM top-5.

2. Draft 8 spots

....... Auto-pick from top-5, otherwise...
....... 30 min to make selection, afterwards...
....... 3-vote nomination by bp

3. PM next 8, four hour window to complete #1


B) Round 2-7

1. 12 hour window, all send top-5 by PM

2. Draft

....... Auto-pick from top-5, otherwise...
....... 2 hour to make selection, afterwards...
....... 3-vote nomination by bp

 

[buckeyefool]

I would say switch the 30 mins and the top 5. They have 30 mins to pick in no pick then go to the list...if the list is exhasted then do to the vote

The reason I suggest it this way is it does allow sometime for trades between people.

PM sent out to first 8 teams.

Solid suggestion. Anyone object?

I used the list of owners culled from post 251 in this thread - I am posting up the revised orders with pick numbers and owners assigned in the Temporary Place Holder post.

Let me know of any glaring errors.

 

[jwinslow]

Sandgk, I didn't swap out Mr. Clutch for BuckeyeNation27 until now... for Houston.

Dynasty, were you picking for Tennessee also? Or was that someone else?

 

[sandgk]

Sandgk, I didn't swap out Mr. Clutch for BuckeyeNation27 until now... for Houston.

So BN27 drafts for Houston AOK thus, - MrClutch drafts for ??

Dynasty, were you picking for Tennessee also? Or was that someone else?

to quote BN27 on 2/28 - "Who is BuckeyeBeast2004?"

Lastly, looking over the list at the original league details and current list see that Best Buckeye did not pick up the 49'ers. from the post 251 and new list you showed '49ers in hands of stxbuck - that is correct?

 

[jwinslow]

No, that was the last list I had of team-owner... Best Buckeye did indeed pick up SF.

BuckeyeBeast2004 = Mr. Clutch. 27 said he took over Houston, so I'm not sure what duties Mr. Clutch had. I don't see how to view team by username on the mock draft site.

I think that's Mr. Clutch but I'm not 100% drafting for Tennessee. I am drafting for Buffalo.

Best list for usernames :
League Details ? MyMockDraft
If BuckeyeBeast2004 is Mr Clutch then Mr Clutch has The Titans.

That leaves BN27 holding the reins for Houston.

And, for the 49ers I can revert stxbuck to Best Buckeye ownership.

Musical chairs of course - that leaves stxbuck out in the proverbial code - there are a couple of other names to get straight -

who was BengalsandBucks?

who was HundedLane?
